What would it take for me to feel real? Maybe money or someone that for me would kneel. What would make me happy? A university degree or just chocolate toffee? I see people finding their way and everything stays strangely in order. Maybe I have to sign a contract or just to cross the country border. I'd feel content if I knew how to paint, how to write or how to do a speech or simply it would make me want to escape to a quiet beach. My head finds places, feelings and people that seem surreal and I watch the sweet alyssum die while I skip another meal. A simple but terrifying question burns my mind, will I always feel so empty even if all of it I tried? If it is all pointless in the end, what is it then to be living? I refuse to exist in automatic but does life have any meaning?

Happiness yet to find.
